It's white here!

07:41PM -- It's been really cold here. The last time I looked the highest the temp got was 30º. Then, this afternoon around 4:00 it started snowing. Small flakes. The ground is white, but there isn't a lot of the white stuff on it. However, just enough to make Virginians antsy. After living in upstate NY, this doesn't bother me. What does bother me is that I know most Virginians don't know how to drive in it! Richard got off from work at 6:00pm tonight, and he said there were 5 wrecks on the way home. 'Nuff said.
Anyway, I went to my sister's house (Bonnie) yesterday and met her, her husband, and my mom there. Then, we all went to a private Christmas party at the Charlottesville Moose we had all been invited to a couple of weeks ago. My other sister, Linda, and her husband met us there. It was nice...and lots of food...good music. We left a little after 11:00pm and came back to Bonnie's for the night. I left there this morning and got home around 10:30ish. Before I got to Bonnie's house, I stopped by the cemetery and placed a basket of red and white poinsettia and a Christmas tree on Larry's grave. I brought the basket of fall flowers home that were there. I've included a picture here. Got a Christmas card from Chris and Jennifer (1st one of the year) and another today from Kristy. Thanks so much for your kind thoughts, Kristy. I started not to put up our big Christmas tree here at home, but Larry would have expected it. I didn't deck it out like I generally do each year, but at least it's up....for him. I'll post a picture here shortly. I'll type more later...take care everyone!
